Family members of Ethiopian immigrant Keyru Mustafa Lolo felt he was the most improbable person to be murdered.

He was just so friendly, never got into trouble and didn’t have any enemies.

So on Oct. 16, 2009 when a dozen family members living in Garden Court Apartments on 1150 Syracuse St. heard gunshots at 9 a.m. and later heard that someone’s body was lying on a sidewalk in the middle of the complex, they never thought it could be him.

It wouldn’t be until several hours later when police went door to door showing a picture of the victim that startled family members recognized the picture.

It was amazing and a bit confusing to relative Jemal Gisho.

“He doesn’t even smoke cigarettes,” he said about a week later.

When he was 9, Lolo moved with his family from Ethiopia to Minnesota.

He moved to Colorado only about five months before his death. The 24-year-old man got a job working at a convenience store and was planning to return to college.

After five days of investigation, police are asking for help or witnesses to the 9 p.m. shooting near Denver’s Lowry subdivision.
